What should be paid attention to in the care of the incision after cesarean section

As we all know, both cesarean section and natural birth have their own advantages and disadvantages. The harm caused by cesarean section is that it is easy to cause a scar on the body that is particularly difficult to heal after delivery, and we need to take special care of the incision to get better recovery. Therefore, incision care after cesarean section is also very important and requires our special attention. Let us understand what we need to pay attention to incision care after cesarean section?

What should be paid attention to in the care of the incision after cesarean section

1. Do not get the wound wet or dirty before it heals. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately and apply iodine for disinfection.

2. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to the wound, which will deepen the color of the scar. If there are scabs, do not scratch them with your hands. Let them fall off naturally. Gently massage the wound with your fingers for 3 to 5 minutes every day to reduce the formation of scars.

3. When getting out of bed, lie on your side first, use your hands to support your body to get up, and avoid sitting up directly with abdominal strength.

4. You can take a shower one week after the operation, but you can take a sponge bath before that. When coughing, feeling nauseous or vomiting, you should press on both sides of the wound to prevent the stitches from breaking.

5. In order to quickly recover from cesarean section wounds, you should pay attention to good treatment. Most hospitals only suture the wounds. You should also receive intravenous drips within three days after the cesarean section to replenish water and correct dehydration. If the patient's wound cannot heal for a long time due to fat accumulation or wound infection, it is necessary to use normal saline to rinse the wound surface and use iodine to reduce inflammation. After the inflammation is reduced, use Yu's Wound Healing Recipe and other good medicines that promote wound healing for auxiliary treatment.

6. After a caesarean section, you should pay attention to your daily diet conditioning, eat more foods rich in collagen and vitamins, eat more foods rich in zinc and iron, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and avoid eating hairy foods.

Note:

In addition, women should do some appropriate exercise after cesarean section. Moderate exercise is also very helpful for the patient's physical recovery. As long as everyone can stick to the above points and take multiple measures, the caesarean section wound will heal quickly. May all parents in the world be healthy and happy every day.
